Svenda’s Manual began as a project of Jan Svenda, who ran his own self-published newsletter for two years. Since then he joined forces with other investors.
Jan Svenda
I started my OTC newsletter in 2017. During that time, I went through the OTC market many times, amassing knowledge of many meaningful OTC stocks. For a year I was also working with OTC-focused fund manager on various legal situations. I approach investing from the deep value angle. I am also intensely interested in short-selling.
David J. Flood
I am a UK based value investor managing my own capital. In recent years I have become increasingly interested in the OTC markets due to an abundance of intriguing investment opportunities to be found there.
In 2018 I founded the website Elementaryvalue.com to write about investing and stocks, the majority of my work is focused on OTC stocks including dark pink-sheets and grey market issues. The vast proportion of my free time is currently spent scouring the OTC markets in search of interesting investment opportunities.
David Lojkasek
I am an equity analyst based in Prague, Czech Republic mostly focused on re/insurance companies, banks and other financial firms.
Recently, I took upon a journey to learn Python, SQL and other languages to help me automate my data analysis. At the same time, I developed the online database for Svenda’s Manual.
